Old Indian Legends

Commisioned by the Boston publisher Ginn & Co, this collection of stories gathered from various tribes was first published in 1901. Directed primarily at children, it was an attempt both to preserve Native American traditions and stories in print and to garner respect and recognition for those traditions among the dominant white culture.
